Hi all, When users report about systems where lm-sensors doesn't work, we often ask them for the complete output of sensors-detect. And we often ask them what motherboard or system they have. I thought that we may save some time if the output of sensors-detect included this information already. I hacked a patch doing just that, using dmidecode. Thanks to the new command line interface introduced in dmidecode 2.7, the need for parsing is very limited. Here is an example of output with the patch applied: # sensors-detect revision 4229 (2006-11-10 10:19:48 +0100) # System Manufacturer: Sony Corporation # System Product Name: PCG-GR214EP(FR) (01) # Chassis Type: Notebook This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. (...) Note that it doesn't make sensors-detect require dmidecode. dmidecode will be used when found, else the output is the same as before. Patch is attached if you want to give it a try.
